Well, you might have to also get the LD knuckles, if the brakes are larger diameter....... front hub/bearing assemblies would be required.... and god only knows what else. The rears would need drums, backing plates, shoes, hardware kits, wheel cylinders....... assuming that the parts were the same size as the 8800gvw versions...... no info there either. Although, my 96 8800gvw uses the same calipers as the LD 2500's from later years...... but, they are still larger than the half ton units......
Finding the parts used is probably going to be difficult, at best... and if you could find a truck that had them, taking the entire axle would be FAR easier, and probably cheaper.... Buying it all new??? Hideously expensive.
